1969 Sportwagon 3D resin
DoctorLarry replied to yellowsportwagon's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I bought one and will be doing the interior for it to cast in resin. Now I'm waiting for the car to come up again.... -
They had swivel bucket seats. A better more realistic seat is in the Revell 1977 Monte Carlo snap kit. The seats are an accurate scale of the swivels if you can find them.
-
The seats are not correct for the H/O, are they?
-
What are you going to do for seats?
-
Grilles are different but rear bumper is the same. I have a 74 front end. If you want I can make a resin copy to spare you some time.

Thanks, Carl. You are always a great encouragement to all of us here.

Getting closer. Did some detail painting with Molotow and got the wheel/tire/stance situation settled a bit. I decided to go with painted bumpers on a suggestion from Rusty, one of our members. I tried thinning Molotow with alcohol and spraying it but it just came out silver. Then I sprayed full strength and it looked like it should but then when I cleared it it turned silver again so I gave up. I still need to finish the interior, add a windshield, paint under the hood and touch up the chassis. Here it is next to my other Collonade Grand Am project.
-
Got some more detail work done on the body. I'm finishing up the exhaust and the rest of the chassis and then on to windows.
-
Given that this was an "update" sort of build I had a can of Testor's Fire Orange metallic paint so I decided to use that. It is a darker burnt orange sort of shade but I think with decals and everything else it will look cool.

Pierre: I have used fiberglass window screen painted white with white pinstriping tape on the edges as well as gauze bandages with striping tape for window nets. -

I did a similar thing with my Team Associates Grand Am. That car had a fairly stock chassis so I used that as a starting point. -

The AMT T Birds from the Bill Elliot era have a chassis that is pretty accurate for this era. It may need shortened but they have good detail and work great in these older builds. -
Slow progress. Shortened the chassis and added some filler pieces. Also worked on the floor pans and rear wheel wheels. I ordered some plus size honeycomb wheels which are pretty cool. Beautiful resin castings. I'm not always a fan of the big wheel look but they do fill the fenderwells nicely. Interior is pretty much done. I added seat belts and flocked the floor. Made the sport steering wheel from scratch. Still needs a shifter. I put the core support and radiator in and am finishing the A/C system. Next I need to paint the body and figure out the windows.

Grand Am is another one of my resins. 73 and 74/75.

Looking for a set of decals for the Pellegrini 68 Skylark funny car. Someone made one at some point in time. Thanks!
-
It was super clean. Great art work.
-
I found that one in a magazine, I think from an east Coast model show (NNA?). I can't remember but it is a clean model build.

This one has been floating around in my mind since I saw a rendering of it a number of years ago. One of my 73 resin bodies with the GTO nose and modified Buick GSX spoiler, resin Lemans interior, scratch built sport steering wheel, engine from a Firebird kit, Fireball resin Holley carb, 68 Cutlass chassis and resin large Honeycomb wheels. A modern take on a "could have been". Carousel Red/Saddle tan combo. Bucket seats, console, dash and tub my own resins. Sport wheel a cut down and modified NASCAR T Bird wheel. Fun so far. I did deviate on the rear spoiler. The Judge wing did not look right. Too big.

Who did the decals?
